Safety Switch Applications for Heavy Duty Vehicles
Close-up of a construction site excavator In saftey systems common to large construction vehicles, CPI switches have long had a role to play. In everyhing from backhoe’s and diggers, to cranes, work trucks, scissor lifts, and emergency vehicles are small hydraulic cylinders that move a variety of arms and surfaces to and from a terminal position, or sometimes stopping in the middle. One great class of applications for CPI’s Waterproof Switches are as a highly durable waterproof switch that acts as a position sensors, mechanical engagement sensors, or a manual start/stop control. The important factor is our ability to provide long lasting reliable control. Consider just a few of the safety applications of our waterproof switch line. All of these are field tested. Dead Man’s Switch Hood down detection Door closed detection Outrigger deployed detection Crane position detection Horn and alarm actuation Valve open/closed sensing Common to all these applications are the nee...
